About the Book
This updated edition of Law for Business delivers some of the more important principles, cases and legislative provisions in business law in a clear and succinct manner. The text and materials are presented in a clear structure for those with and without legal background to easily grasp the complex legal principles in business law.
This edition retains 24 chapters broadly covering the following areas of law: contract law, torts, employment law, the law dealing with business organisations, i.e. sole proprietorships, partnerships and companies, sale of goods and consumer protection, banking, insurance and takaful law.
Recent developments in judicial pronouncements and legislation that impinge upon trade, business and employees have also been included. The COVID-19 pandemic caused massive global economic and social disruption and brought into sharp focus the need for quick legislative and policy responses to the challenges of operating a business. Accordingly, latest amendments to key legislation, new sets of regulations as well as landmark cases have been incorporated.
